[F]You’re on the phone with your
[C]Girlfriend, she’s upset
She’s going off about
Something that you [G#m]said
’cause she doesn’t
Get your humor like [B]I do
[F]I’m in my room
[C]It’s a typical tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind
Of music she doesn’t [G#m]like
And she’ll never
Know your story like [B]I do
’cause [G#m]she wears short skirts,
[B]I wear t-shirts
[F]She’s cheer captain and

Has been here the whole time

Laughing on a park bench
Thinking to my[B]self
Hey, isn’t this easy?
[F]And you’ve got a smile
[C]That could light up this whole town
I haven’t seen it in a while
Since she brought you [G#m]down
You say you’re fine
I know you better than that
[B]Hey, whatcha doing with
A girl like that?
[G#m]She wears high heels,
[B]I wear sneakers
[F]She’s cheer captain and
[C]I’m on the bleachers
[G#m]Dreaming about the day
When you [B]wake up and find

Oh, I remember you [G#m]driving to my house
In the [B]middle of the night

I [G#m]know your favorite songs
And you [B]tell me ’bout your dreams
[F]Think I know where you belong
[C]Think I know it’s with me

**Intro :** {D} {A} {Bm} {G}
[D]We were both young
When I first saw you
I [G]close my eyes,
And the flashback starts
I’m standing [Bm]there
On a balcony in [G]summer air
[D]See the lights
See the party the ball gowns
[G]See you make your way
Through the crowd
And say “he[Bm]llo”
Little did [A]I know
That [G]you were romeo,
You were [A]throwing pebbles
And my [Bm]daddy said “stay away
From j[D]uliet”
And I was [G]crying on the staircase
[A]Begging you, “please don’t go[Bm],”
[G]And I s[A]aid
**Chorus :**
R[D]omeo take me
Somewhere we can be alone
I[A]’ll be waiting
All there’s left to do is run
Y[Bm]ou’ll be the prince
And I’ll be the princess
I[G]t’s a love story,
B[A]aby, just say “yes”
**Interlude :** {D}
So [D]I sneak out
To the garden to see you
[G]We keep quiet,
’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your [Bm]eyes
Escape this town for a [A]little while
’cause [G]you were romeo,
I was a [A]scarlet letter
And my [Bm]daddy said “stay away
From j[D]uliet”
But you were [G]everything to me

And I said, “[D]Romeo, save me,
I’ve been feeling so alone
[A]I keep waiting for you
But you never come
Is [Bm]this in my head?
I don’t know what to think”
He [G]knelt to the ground
And [A]pulled out a ring, and said
**Chorus :**
M[E]arry me, Juliet,
You’ll never have to be alone
I[B] love you,
And that’s all I really know
I t[C#m]alked to your dad,
